Re: Looks Like a Tree on Her Head
So how did he fit his huge tree hands through his shirt sleeves? The sleeves didn't look huge, they looked normal sized. I must know how.  |

Re: Looks Like a Tree on Her Head
Dede Koswara Feb 2016 Indonesian known as 'the tree man' due to disease which left him with branch-like warts dies without ever fulfilling his dream of living to see a cure and becoming a carpenter again An Indonesian known as 'the tree man' due to the scaly warts covering his body has passed away after a long battle with his rare and incurable illness. Dede Koswara, 42, died in hospital in Badung, Indonesia, on the morning of January 30 without ever realising his dream of living to see a cure and returning to carpentry. In the past three months, doctors said he had resigned himself to the debilitating illness which over several decades tragically came to cost him his family, job and independence. Mr Koswara suffered from Lewandowsky-Lutz dysplasia, a disease which results in uncontrolled human papilloma virus (HPV) infections and the growth of scaly warts resembling tree bark. He died of a complicated series of health problems, including hepatitis, liver and gastric disorders, three months after he had checked into hospital. One of his doctors said: 'He was resigned to his illness. He must've been pretty tough to face all the insults he suffered over the years.' According to his sister, his was unable to feed himself or speak because he was too weak. She added that he remained estranged from his family up until his death - but according to those treating him, he never gave up hope of a cure. 'Dede wanted to recover, despite his disease,' his nurse said. 'He was coping with his illness, even though people despised him as someone cursed. 'He was bored, resting in bed in the hospital, and often smoked to pass the time. He wanted to go back to being a carpenter and starting a home business.' The disease was so severe his hands and feet were covered with more than 13lbs of warts, also called 'cutaneous horns'. The severity of his condition gave him international notoriety - including several feature-length documentaries highlighting his plight. The warts were severely debilitating, preventing the proper use of his hands and feet - and were believed locally to have been the result of a curse. His wife of ten years also left him after he couldn't support them and their two children. In 2008, he had 13lb of warts surgically removed from his body. The operation was such a success that he could play Sudoku and wear flip-flops. But the growths continued to return, requiring two surgeries a year to keep the infections down. The 42-year-old died at Hasan Sadkin General Hospital in west Java, Indonesia, following a three-day coma.  ·  ·  ·  · |
